milling <strong>wheat</strong> cultivar descriptions<br />

CONQUEST YEAR 8<br />

Premium milling cultivar with strong straw and<br />

excellent sprouting resistance. Early maturing,<br />

it can be sown from May to September or later<br />

under irrigation. Conquest has become mostly<br />

susceptible to a new leaf rust pathotype. It has<br />

moderate resistance to stripe rust and septoria<br />

leaf blotch. It produces high test weights but<br />

low grain weights. It has low screenings, high<br />

protein and high falling number.<br />

relatIVE YIelDS - 4 year adjusted mean<br />

MAJESTIC (CRWT139) YEAR 4<br />

Below average yielding milling <strong>wheat</strong>. It<br />

has good disease resistance, however<br />

is moderately susceptible to powdery<br />

mildew. An intermediate to late maturing<br />

cultivar with a stiff straw. Majestic has a low<br />

thousand grain weight and high screening<br />

percentage but high falling numbers.<br />
